Ohhhh interesting. Kinda sad it isnt SA anymore but I have been planning to get an XDA set. Can't wait to see what the planck set will look like

I'd still be on board with XDA, however, I would make sure you're confident in their ability to recreate the colors. The rgb dye sub job on milestone was washed out and didn't match renders. Canvas was delayed due to poor legend dye sub job on the initial run.

Very interesting to change to XDA profile.But I have some concerns on the colors because of the material of keycap.XDA might be PBT not ABS, then it might adopt dye-sub instead of double injection.Can the colors of your design be produced properly?This might be my prejudice but the dye-subed colors are so vague and too calm.I hope your Melon keysets be bright and clear.Good luck on GB!

I would implore you to add more keys to the space bar kit. XDA has convex 2, 2.25, and 2.75u molds, and you could also add a blank 1.25u cap. All of these are essential for those of us trying to use split space, which is becoming more and more popular, yet is maddening difficult to find coverage for.

I second this! A smaller option to maybe just get 1u mods or blanks would also be very nice

Thirded! I use 6x 1U space keys on my matrix board. I'm not 100% in yet, so I won't make any wild demands, but the availability of 1U space keys (concave would be fine, but convex would be very interesting if available) would definitely tip me towards joining.

We have got your suggestion. As the planck kit will be added, which is made up by several 1u keycaps, We wonder: 1. Is it still necessary to add 1u blank keys?2.What are they going to be used & how many should be added ?

This gets my vote. I had no idea that the elvish was even elvish The novelties make more sense to me now

Sorry to hear that... Since we just add this elvish one as someone suggested , which is almost out of our standing, would you please suggest a elvish font for this elvish "mellon" Enter key cap ?Thank you !

It's awesome that you're so willing to take on all suggestions, but I just don't get this one. A novelty in elvish that says melon? What? I'm not seeing the connection between melons and Lord of the Rings.

On the topic of not understanding the novelties... what's up with that temple?

I've just realised something else... if this is XDA, unless they've confirmed they can do inverse dye-sub for you, the dark green keys with beige font and the dark orange keys with light green font aren't possible.

On the topic of not understanding the novelties... what's up with that temple?It is a connection between "melon" and "mellon",which means "friend" in Elvish. You can see the sugguestion proposed from here.

We will check with manufaturer next week, and nothing more will be updated until they are capable to produce .

Thank you very much !

Oh thanks for clearing that up. That topic also gave a good background on the other novelties like the temple key representing Loulan, but then isn't Loulan quite far from Hami? My geography for China isn't good, but they look so far apart - about 500km. Is this something that's visible from Hami, or are the melons grown throughout the whole province... including the ghost city?

As for the Elvish: even the guy who suggested it sounds like he wasn't sure if it was a good idea. You'd be better off writing the name for the melon in it's traditional Chinese for the theme of the set. Like I said before, it's great that you're so willing to take on many suggestions, but you should also make sure you're following through with a clear theme.

I'm not very skilled with graphic design, but I was thinking melon slices would be a nice recognisable novelty for the set, such as:

We may change the novelty from 1.25u to 2.25u Enter key as a special & independent one.

I was also disappointed with how milestone rgb caps came out, but I suspect their dyesub process will work out better for this set. I believe they are perfecting their process for the mito canvas set since mito wouldn't stand for poor legends and consistency. The color matching and new legends look good for dyesub. The colors for melon are also not very bright aside from the green accents, just like canvas, but unlike milestone which was intended to be saturated rgb. I was also least displeased with the green caps from milestone anyway so that bodes well.
